"quite frankly people NEED mysticism, a sense of awe."

Certainly the Gospel provides this sense of awe yet has a rational foundation. No form of mystic pantheism can provide this as there is no transcendental nature to the god of oneism.

Of course it does, but if we read it as the Christian Scientists do — drily, there is no sense of awe. The Word of God as we read in John 1 is more than just the written Word it is Jesus Christ. We celebrate his life with joy just as we silently contemplate His message.

Actually Hinduism — modern hinduism sys that there is one god — Ishwara and that the rest are just emanations.
